Mailbag: Should there be concerns for Merrimack between the pipes now that Max Lundgren has signed an NHL deal?
Other topics include the men's basketball roster, baseball, Lawler Arena, and more
It’s time for another mailbag!
Today’s mailbag includes the following questions/topics:
Are you concerned with Merrimack’s goaltending situation this season? I just feel like we leaned heavily on Max [Lundgren] last season and without him, the run we went on at the end of the year could have looked a lot different.
Coming into the year, where do you think you will have Merrimack ranked nationally and in Hockey East?
Are you concerned there has been so much roster turnover with men’s basketball? I feel like we see that every year, but last year we still brought back some key players.
I have a question that’s out of left field (literally). Have you heard anything about Merrimack looking to put the baseball stadium back on campus?
Do you have any updates on banners for Lawler yet, or what the Hockey East banner might look like?

Q. Are you concerned with Merrimack’s goaltending situation this season? It just feels like the Warriors leaned heavily on Max Lundgren last season, and without him that run at the end of the year might have looked a lot different.
You’re not wrong. Max Lundgren was Merrimack’s MVP last season.
That said, I’m honestly not that concerned about the goaltending this year.
Linards Feldbergs was arguably the best goalie in the USHL last season, and he backstopped the Sioux Falls Stampede to a Clark Cup championship. (Yes, it’s a little ironic that Merrimack’s new goalie is coming from Sioux Falls after the Warriors were eliminated there.)
